I got Shanghai'd early this morning by the "honey-do" list and yet to have time to do anything I wanted to do. But I guess the door on the pump house that blew off in a storm in early August was somewhat important.
At the risk of sounding like a broken record , I will once again state that after seeing a "Pro" build plate "up close & personal" I do not believe the issue to be too much adhesion at the FEP, but rather too little at the platen..
I called various shops and found that as I had suspected the welding shop would be an ideal place to bring your rusty combine, but not a Mars build-plate. A local poweder coating shop wanted "$20 maybe more once they saw it" to glass bead it. However I am not sinking $20 more into this experiment. After lunch I will hit it gently with whatever disc is in the random orbit sander and go from there
